He said every American deserves equal and fair treatment from law enforcement and what happened to Mr. Floyd should never happen again. “Hopefully, George is looking down right now and saying, "This is a great thing that’s happening for our country.” This is a great day for him, it’s a great day for everybody. This is great day for everybody." https://www.c-span.org/video/?472813-1/president-trump-statement-economy-jobs-numbers JUNE 5, 2021 Campaign 2024: Former President Trump Speaks at North Carolina Republican Convention Former President Donald Trump gave keynote remarks at the 2021 North Carolina Republican Party Convention in the city of Greenville, which marked his second public speech since leaving office in January 2021.
